Default Electric Vented Goggles?

Anyone using any form of battery/electric vented goggles out there? I saw a segment of "How It's Made" on TV featuring a company making electric (battery) vented ski goggles. The goggles have a small ventilator fan over the bridge that keeps the goggles from fogging. Riding in the rain and cold is a pain in the a** with goggles or glasses fogging easily. I'm not interested in spending $100 or so to experiment with a gadget that may or may not work! On the other hand if $100 could fix the problem it would be well worth it.

Default just an idea

What about just getting a pair of anti fog goggles? I think you could get a good pair around 30 bucks and not have to mess with batteries or anything else destroying the 100 buck vented goggles that may not even work. Just an idea I don't think you said anything about this option.

Anti fog goggles sound great! Seems that they're out there but nobody seems to think they work worth a da**. What would you suggest?

Since these are more available I'd pick up a pair ask what the return or exchange policies are. Then try them if you go back to the store shortly after buying them and say they are a P.O.S. they don't work they normally will take them back. This way you're not wasting you're money and if they do work then great.

Get some fogtech. Stuff works great. But if I want fan goggles EOS makes some. I used them a while back when I was into airsoft and they worked well.

Yea I used some when I played Paintball year around they worked well you could have the Fan run both ways so if it was raining it wouldn't sux the air in. They lasted a good bit and never had issues with them . I'm sure you could find the same thing or adapt
